FCUKed Out of My Discount

Dear Fashionista,
I work in sales for French Connection, and wanted to pass along another sign of the times for the official count:
The other night, we marked down most of the items in the store to some of the lowest markdown prices in company history. And if that weren't enough, employees no longer get their discount on the new sale items. This has never happened before. The word from corporate is that this is because the economy is in the can.
Happy recession and lots of love,
H
